A sentencing date has been set for Wayne Treacy, convicted in July of attempted first degree murder in the near fatal beating of Josie Lou Ratley two years ago which left her with permanent brain damage.

Invoking the legal right of the accused being able to confront the witnesses against them, an attorney for a Pompano Beach teen accused of stomping Josie Lou Ratley as she lay helpless on the ground wants to question her about the events of that day.
